Hi, blatantly taken from ZServer/HTTPServer.py and adultered is this code to kill zhttp channels used in zope by way of an external method: def killzombies(): import ZServer from ZServer import HTTPServer from ZServer import medusa from ZServer.medusa import asyncore from ZServer.medusa import http_server for channel in asyncore.socket_map.values(): if channel.__class__ == HTTPServer.zhttp_channel: channel.close() return 1 I ignore here the zombie_timeout, Im just killing all channels. The problem is that I also kill the main python process. I would apreciate if any zserver/medusa guru can iluminate my mind on what I'm doing wrong here. In this code I only close zhttp_channels and not zhttp_server ones, so I dont understand why the server is also closed.
